Ordinary Talk
Half Waif
#365songs (190 / 365)
A gorgeous and tender song that always reminds me of my partner. The reassurance of "I know myself well when I'm in this hell: it's part of the process, it doesn't scare me" can be helpful when I feel like it's my job to help my partner feel better because I know she is self-aware enough to know this too. It's not my job and I'm never good at it when I feel like it is. But I do like to be there, when I can, for the other side of "Ordinary Talk" — "When the world has turned away I know I’m gonna need you."
